450 mg of Aspartates; Potassium (elemental) 33 mg;
Magnesium (elemental) 40 mg
Potassium
and Magnesium are put together in this formula
because Potassium interacts in many of our body
systems with Magnesium. In our bodies, we
need to maintain proper levels of Sodium, or else
we will be more at risk for heart disease, high
blood pressure and cancer. The way to do
this is to make sure that our Potassium levels can
balance our Sodium levels. Potassium is also
crucial to: water balance and distribution, muscle
and nerve cell function, kidney and adrenal
function, & the conversion of glucose to
glycogen.
Nutritional Notes...Lack of Potassium may
also be linked to fatigue. Without enough glycogen
in one's system, there is nothing for the body to
convert into usable energy, i.e. glucose. Glycogen
is the "energy storage" component
of our body.
Did you know that when Magnesium is bound to
Aspartate, it is much more easily absorbed AND it
may fight fatigue? Aspartate feeds into the Krebs
Cycle, the cycle which manufactures ATP (our
chemical energy!). Due to the fact that
Aspartate is chelated to the Krebs cycle, it
becomes inherently easier for the body to absorb.
